Feystown Cemetery, Co. Antrim, North of Ireland

I’ve noticed that folks who do a google-type search for Feystown keep landing at my home page. It’s not completely ludicrous, as I do have a couple of postings, including photos, about Feystown. However, those postings are in the archives and do not show up on my Home page. So, if you’re one of those folks, I’ve added a Search bar tool at the bottom of my home page. Just enter “Feystown” and you should find all my entries on it. Currently it will take you here. I’d love to hear what you folks know/learn about Feystown as there really isn’t much “out there”–please leave me feedback under Comments!

Hi. I’m interested in Feystown as many of my ancestors are buried there & I’m interested in finding out records of my family tree which are diffficult to come by pre 1901.

Tel: 2884 1246.

I do not how he would feel about being contacted about historical records, but it certainly would be helpful to have them copied (and perhaps even transcribed?) and put online if someone were willing. (I live in Canada myself, so it’s a bit of a distance)
Which surnames are you looking for–I did get some pictures of names other than McRandal and McKinstry.

“Howdy folks“, to quote grandma. For those of you not related to me, I am the keeper of all things family history for both sides of my family. I have been “doing” genealogy since I was about 10 years old, and even before as I listened to Nana’s stories of ... Continue reading →
